Orazio Andreoni: A carved white marble figure of a vestal virgin standing on a terrestrial globe, indistinctly signed E. G†††eri, Studio O, Andreoni, Roma on Belgian slate base 165cm.; 65ins high overall Considering the profusion of marble figures and busts carved by Orazio Andreoni, it is surprising that more is not known of this enterprising sculptor. Based in Rome, Andreoni sent works for exhibition as far as Glasgow (1888) and Berlin (1892) and is believed to have been active for a time in America (a file on him is in the Smithsonian Institution library). The exposure established his international reputation. Andreoni specialised in historical and biblical subjects. Andreoni`s expertise with the chisel is evident here in the virtuoso handling of clothing, and accoutrements, delighting in the richness of detail. Other historic subjects he treated included figures of a Pharisee (Sydney museum), Francesco da Rimini, Messalina, the blind Nidia and Hamlet (Bournemouth). Perhaps Andreoni`s greatest contribution was his large workshop in Rome where a generation of sculptors received their training. Most notable amongst these was Antonio Rossetti, who appended the words `...Studio O Andreoni, Roma` after his signature while working there. Both teacher and pupil made a speciality of portraying figures beneath diaphanous veils and dresses to demonstrate their technical mastery of the medium, which has been used to great effect in this piece. The technique was first used by Raffaello Monti in a bust of for the Duke of Devonshire, the "Veiled Vestal." A bust based on this work, cast in Parian porcelain by Copeland, was issued in 1861 by the Crystal Palace Art Union
